Preparation of the Chicken Tenders
To prepare crispy baked buffalo chicken tenders, start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a shallow bowl, mix together 1 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 2 tablespoons of hot sauce. Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Arrange the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece. Lightly spray the tenders with cooking spray to help them brown and crisp up in the oven.
Bake the chicken tenders for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Serve the crispy baked buffalo chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
Baking the Chicken Tenders
To bake the crispy buffalo chicken tenders, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
Take each chicken tender and dip it into the flour mixture, coating it evenly. Shake off any excess flour, then dip the coated chicken into the beaten eggs. Allow any excess egg to drip off before transferring the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat this process with the remaining chicken tenders until they are all coated and placed on the baking sheet. Make sure to leave space between each tender to ensure even baking and crispy results.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken tenders are golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
Once done, remove the chicken tenders from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them hot with your favorite buffalo sauce and enjoy!
